Partly granted
The Board granted an initial disability rating of 10 percent for GERD from March 26, 2020, but denied a higher rating in excess of 30 percent from September 17, 2021.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating due to a lack of persistent epigastric distress with dysphagia and considerable impairment of health.
